Generic 'I hate my body' post.
Why the 'thigh gap', 'hip bones' and 'starved look' is so popular among teenage girls, I'll never know. Despite my best efforts to eat more I'm still losing weight.
Thigh gap is ... urrrgh! *shudders* It is so unnatural looking I've NO idea why it's popular.
Right my turn to vent
I was recently asked to do a job that may finally get me out of working at costa and going into a more specialist music field. I was asked by my university to man the sound desk for a production of the magic flute. Upon arriving, it was severely apparent that they had lied to me... I'm on the desk, but they went back on their statement that I'll never have to mic anything up, that I'd have a sound team and it'd be all ready for me. So I'm sat there, one single man, sorting out radio mics, tuning them, testing them, and handing them out to said actors (16 mics all together).
To any of you sound techies out there, this means I'm controlling 16 mics through an analogue desk. I knew it was going to be hard work, but they've expected me to do a whole lot more. I was asked about producing sound effects for things that I didn't even know they wanted, when I said I was never asked they looked at me as if I was some incompetent loser and that I should have known because, ya know, I can clearly read minds, after all!
I havent even had a quote of payment other than "There may be a bit of money in it for you". So, any less than £100 and I've decided to NEVER do any work for my university again. They've screwed me around far too many times now, and I'm quite frankly sick of it. I've been humiliated, embarrassed, and used by them...
Great music department. But they have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how to talk to each other.
So I'm there all week, while I'm also working mornings in costa. I've taken off one day, so I need to make that even. I'm being told by the lighting techie's that I'll need to work through the night to sort stuff out. Sorry but f that! I doubt I'm actually being paid!
Fuming.
